Old Spice Burley

[blangaz1]

Does anyone know anything about "Burley by David Ross of London"?

I recently purchased some aftershave of the same name and, happily, I can report the scent is as near as dammit as the real deal Old Spice version - maybe not just as 'smoky', but it's a close call.

Hi Nico, I've had some lately and your description nails it. Close but not quite the same. Strangely enough the only Burley still being made is on sale through Rakuten Japan.http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/kimuraya/item/bedk4973308021212/?s-id=borderless_browsehist_en

I'm curious to try it but the Japan sellers won't export it. Don't know how else to try yet.

@blangaz1 - that's a shame, I'd love to try the modern day 'old' Burley as well. Man, there's got to be some way of getting this...

Yes, I'm with ya there! I did contact a few sellers on Rakuten Japan and they each said the same thing. Like you say there must be some way..... a case for Lieutenant Columbo.

Thanks

There's some Old Spice Burley on the bay of fleas if anyone fancies it...

Now your playing high card enabling.

Don't do it Nishy!

OS Burley is fantastic but it can be had for a lot cheaper than that...

 

[Nico1970]

Notwithstanding the box looks like the dog has had a go at it, this one is approaching fair value...

@blangaz1 - did you ever have any more luck at procuring the 'Japanese Burley' at all?

Yup I should think so, what is this some type of foul bait?

Now I see your angle, enabling at its finest, take a bow!

Unfortunately not Nico. I've been to the Rakuten Global site and the Japanese sellers of Burley won't ship internationally.
If anyone who's interested has better luck then please post.
And as for that bottle on the bay...Jeez! £103 for £150ml of OS Burley!!

What a liberty Gawd blimey.

How many want the Japanese burley?

I do @Nishy.

Have you got a cunning plan? Unfortunately, I've got no trips planned to Japan this year...

I do @Nishy.

I do I do, one of our locums goes a few times a year and is due to go over soon so will ask nicely if he can bring a few back.
